One Abdul Saleem is the father-in-law of P.W.2/A.K.Akbar Basha. The said Abdul Saleem entered into a contract with the said Ramasamy to purchase the plot. Since, Abdul Saleem was sick, he requested P.W.2/A.K.Akbar Basha to pay the amount due to the Tamil Nadu Housing Board payable by the allottee Ramasamy. P.W.2/A.K.Akbar Basha contacted the said office and he was asked to meet the accused Sundaram/the appellant herein, who is looking after the section. When P.W.2 enquired about the dues payable by the allottee Ramasamy, the accused Sundaram replied that he want to pay Rs.34,700/-.

P.W.2 paid the said amount also and approached the accused Sundaram and by showing the receipt, asked him to prepare the Sale Deed in favour of Ramasamy. For which, the accused Sundaram asked P.W.2 to come after two days. When P.W.2 approached the accused Sundaram after two days, the accused Sundaram/the appellant herein demanded a sum of Rs.1,000/- as gratification for preparation of Sale Deed and further he informed that if the said amount is not given, problem would arise.
